5.0FIRE DETECTION
5.1 INTRODUCTION
All fire systems require regular testing and maintenance. Common dust buildup in
smoke detectors can cause them to false alarm or fail in a time of need. Consult
your Security Company Representative for a scheduled maintenance program.
All devices in a Fire Alarm system should be tested monthly except as described in
NFPA 72.
5.2 WHEN AN ALARM OCCURS
When a fire alarm occurs, the bell sounds, the keypad(s) produces the fire alarm
tone and displays the message “FIRE ALARM” and the fire alarm system zone that
initiated the alarm.
DO NOT IMMEDIATELY ASSUME IT IS A “FALSE ALARM”!
The occupants should respond according to the fire escape plan that has been
developed for the building. Only if the person responsible for the building and the
safety of its occupants is certain that the alarm has occurred as a result of some
other cause, should an occupant silence a fire alarm signal. To silence an alarm
signal, the operator presses the ALARM SILENCE key (button) and then enters the
passcode.
5.3 RESETTING THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
After the site has been secured, the source of a fire alarm initiation has been
identified and corrected, and the building is deemed safe for occupancy it is
necessary to “reset” the fire alarm system. This is necessary because smoke
detectors and fire alarm control panels “latch” in the ALARM state until they are
intentionally “reset” by an individual with access to the fire alarm system controls.
To reset the system depress the SYSTEM RESET key (button) and enter the
passcode. The trouble condition should disappear on the zone in a couple of
seconds. If the trouble condition does not clear after resetting the smoke detector,
contact your Fire Protection Representative for service.
25
5.4 DEVELOPING AN EVACUATION PLAN
Preparation and education are of prime importance in the prevention of fire. An
evacuation plan should be established BEFORE a severe situation arises. Make
sure your Fire Protection Representative fully explains the configuration of your
system. Make sure you fully understand the limitations of your system.
Use the following steps in establishing an evacuation plan:
1.Evaluate all possible escape routes from your home and draw a floor plan.
2.Select two exit escape routes from each room.
3.Provide escape ladders for rooms above the first floor. Check the ladders to
be sure that they will reach the ground.
4.Draw a rough sketch of your escape plan so that everyone is familiar with it.
5.Practice your escape plan to assure that everybody knows what they have to
do in a severe situation.
6.Establish a meeting place outside where your family is to report.
7.Advise the local fire authority if you have installed a fire alarm system.
Discuss the following with all residents:
1.Familiarity with alarm signals.
2.Status of bedroom doors.
3.Testing of door during a fire and use of alternate escape routes if HOT to
touch.
4.Crawling and holding breath techniques during a fire.
5.ESCAPE FAST, DO NOT STOP for packing.
6.Emphasize that no one is to return to a burning building.
5.5 FIRE-SAFETY BASICS
The intended purpose of a household fire warning system is to provide a warning
sufficiently early in the development of a fire that the occupants are able to escape
before conditions become life-threatening. However, a properly designed household fire warning system is just one part of a good fire safety plan for one’s home.
The first step is to enhance the fire safety of one’s home with fire prevention.
Then, in order to derive the intended benefit from the household fire warning
system, the household must have a pre-arranged fire escape plan.
26
5.6 KNOW FIRE HAZARDS
No detection device can protect life in all situations. Therefore, safeguards should
be taken to avoid such potentially dangerous situations as smoking in bed, leaving
children home alone, and cleaning with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
The best fire protection is minimizing fire hazards through proper storage of
materials and good housekeeping practices. Careless use of combustible materials
and electrical appliances overloading electrical outlets are major causes of fire.
Explosive and fast burning materials must be eliminated from the home.
5.7 IN CASE OF FIRE
Leave immediately! Do not stop to pack or search for valuables. In heavy smoke,
hold your breath and stay low - crawl if necessary. The clearest air usually is at
the floor. If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and door
knob to see if undue heat is present. If relatively cool, brace your foot against the
bottom of the door with your hip against the middle, and one hand against the top
edge. Open slightly. If there is a rush of hot air, slam the door quickly and latch
it. Unvented fire will build up considerable pressure. Be sure that all members of
the household realize this danger.
Use your neighbor’s phone or street fire alarm box. The job of extinguishing the
fire should be left to the professionals. Too many unforeseen things can occur
when inexperienced people try to extinguish a fire.
5.8 BE PREPARED
Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal.
For your protection, simulate different circumstances (smoke the hall, living room,
etc.). Then have everyone react to the situation. Draw a floor plan and show two
exits from each room. It is important that children be instructed carefully. Their
tendency is to hide in a crisis.
It is imperative that one meeting place outside the home be established. You
should insist that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate the
tragedy of someone reentering the house for a missing member who is actually
safe.
If you have small children and/or invalids residing in your household, you can help
your fire department by placing decals on bedroom windows. Most fire departments supply the decals.
Become familiar with the distinctive sounds of your Fire Alarm signals.
27
5.9 ZONE TROUBLE
If a trouble condition for a zone is displayed on your keypad, consult your installer. A trouble condition may result when a fire alarm is silenced and when the
smoke detector has not been reset, or when the smoke detector is dirty and needs
to be cleaned/serviced.
If none of the above apply, the trouble may be due to a wiring problem or a
supervisory condition and a service call may be required.
